And if you´ve read anything I have written (and what others have added) you would see that the purpose of this post is LEARNING. I´m not a linux guy, but I´m quickly figuring it out, not much help to individuals such as yourself who choose to distract and detract rather than assist and contribute, or at least keep your finger off the ¨submit¨ button.

I posted this thread because there is no working version of CM7 for this device. Lets drop the negativity/whatever and put our efforts and keystrokes to getting this booting.

My comment had no attitude as you speak of, like XAviierG i was just letting you know that if your intention is LEARNING the CMcompiler does not help with the process. Its an application that runs in a terminal window and you press numbers on screen to pull from the repos, again thats not learning and it wont help get the Vivid working any sooner.

I appropriate your eagerness to learn Linux, i am still learning alot aswell, and i too was excited when i read about the CMcompling application, however after reading about it and the stance of the dev teams i realized that its not the best for me and people looking to learn

This just made my day :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MCreane:
CMC got me motivated to figure out how to get this working. Yes it´s a shortcut, no it doesn´t help anyone who can´t flash through rommanager already, and thus not us, right now. However, what gets people learning is a good thing, as far as I am concerned. I know far more about Linux now than I ever would have if it had worked beautifully from the start, including building everything through other means that it looks to do through invisible scripting.

As I said, I´m done talking about this.

Back on topic.

I am working on building a fresh CM7 Kernel through

michaelcreane@michaelcreane-Studio-1737:~/android/kernel/cm-kernel$ adb pull /proc/config.gz /home/michaelcreane/android/kernel/cm-kernel/config.gz
cat config.gz | gunzip > .config

All goes well

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER oldconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER menuconfig

No problems.

But then

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`

and I run into this:

michaelcreane@michaelcreane-Studio-1737:~/android/kernel/cm-kernel$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`

I just accepted all defaults in the RCU implementation, and I´m guessing that´s where the errors are starting. I got the same error when I ran

rather than extracting the .gz file from my device. Any ideas?

Tease: we have a successful booting CM9 from source :)

Current problem: the kernel we're using (stock from source) is missing the proper USB stack for ICS, as well as GSL changes, so we either have to fork toastcfh's kernel, or fix tiamat's kernel which currently doesn't boot.

However, we were able to get it to boot with a stock kernel built from source. Gfx are skewed, but touchscreen worked, and the colors were right-- so we're on to something at least.

Anyway, I'll be pushing what I have to my github as "holidayics" instead of "holiday" until it's ready for primetime. (@ http://github.com/thecubed )

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Yup, count me in for testing/troubleshooting.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
Another quick update:

Working out some 'init' bugs right now, we got tiamat's kernel to work, I just needed to correct a few bugs in my init script.

Now I'm just running into an issue with init not mounting the partitions, but I believe that's got something to do with me using HTC's init syntax vs AOSP (mounting partitions by emmc@system style names, rather than /dev/block/* style)

Once I'm sure everything "boots" and has at least working GFX i'll make a new thread and post everything I've got in there. I will also push a new branch to my device repo-- or something.. I'm not exactly sure what I'm gonig to do about my github since now I've partnered with the Evervolv team, and I'm in charge of their Holiday repo also... hmm, decisions decisions... :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
Quick heads up, new repositories are up at http://github.com/thecubed

Make sure to check the "ics" branch :)

I'm squashing some bugs in regards to gralloc and audio that are preventing stable system use, and after that-- I'll release a public build.

It looks like sensors aren't working (lots of noise in logcat about can't find certain sensors and whatnot)

Basically: this repo is full of bugs, but I'll hopefully have a buggy but booting release soon.

Thanks for sticking with me!

EDIT: ha, I just flashed an image to my phone, was gonna take a picture of it for a teaser-- then my phone rebooted and logcat says I ran out of pmem. Bleh. Excuses! My phone's camera shy, that explains it.

We're hard at work on CM9, which once we get it stable enough, CM7 will be a matter of changing 2 lines in our config files and the build system will spit out a perfectly working CM7.

First we've gotta get CM9's gfx issues sorted, vold issues, wifi, bt, cellmodem, sensors, etc etc.... once that's done, CM7 will be super easy!

Just an update.

So I got the SGS2 last nite, about 5pm.

From 5pm to 8pm, I did send 3 short gmails and 2 sms.

Also tap on myATT to check the data usage once.

Receiving one phone call.

From 8pm to 12pm: plugging to charge, fully 100%. Unplug and power OFF @ midnite.

9am in the morning, making a 25' phone call.

10am, check myATT again and it showed I have consumed 11.01MB :(:(:(

Really???? From 5pm yesterday to 10am today with few emails/sms/checking myATT once and it already 11.01 MB???? Heck. Grrrr!!!

After 11:30am, turn ON bluetooth and paired with headset, made another 2' phone call via bluetooth, then turn bluetooth OFF, also turn GPS OFF.

Note: Wifi has never been turned ON.

Since then til now, 4:22pm EST, no call, no browsing, but receiving a lot of gmails (via ATT network since wifi is off), phone showed 6h53m battery life left.

With those activity listed above, I think the battery is weak.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
We can indeed turn off both wifi and mobile network and still able to make/receive calls or send/receive sms. This will help save a bit of battery. That's good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
RE: Battery Issues

You say you got the phone 5pm last night.

Your phone's battery needs to be cycled for 2-3 days before you can even get close to an accurate summary of battery usage.

Charge the phone until the battery is full, let it discharge with normal usage

3-4 times and after that you will be able to tell how good or how bad your

battery drainage might be on your phone.

Also it's a lot more accurate to test battery drainage if you conduct the

tests BEFORE you install any apps. Just use the phone STOCK for 3-4 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
He also didn't say how much he was polling for email. Display settings?

And, as the poster above, you need to cycle the battery several times properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Nah, no need to cycle battery on most Samsungs, we don't have fuel gauges that need calibration.

A device needs to sit on the shelf for a VERY long time to develop a passivation layer.

Probably just typical "new user playing too much" or "user installed a crappy app like Skype almost immediately".

Although the high data usage is interesting - either Market updates of a new phone (possibly even downloading an OTA update), or you're on UCKH7 and the AP Mobile widget is acting up already.

My highest usage all last year was 400 MB in a month, and that involved quite a bit of tethering my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Relapse84:
Eh, I have an unlimited plan but 400mb isn't all that much. I have no idea how you did any sort of tethering without passing the 1gb mark. I don't stream very often, but will use Pandora or the AT&T Uverse app for college football occasionally. I average about 1gb or so, and have gone up to 4 (although that's far from normal for me).

I work for AT&T and the average user seems to consume about 500 MB in data a month, so if you're on the 200mb plan, you better have WIFI at home / work / school or wherever you spend most of your time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Whoops wrong button, anyways, yes there is a bunch of crapware installed on our phones, check out the list of known battery drainers and see if you use any of those. myATT takes a while to update, and its much easier to just type #3282* (data) on your dialer and hit call. Also, wifi would be preferred, as typically it uses less battery (at least thats what I see, especially with any kind of data). Disable automatic updates of alot of things such as apps, weather, stocks and whatnot (removing widgets also helsp), and first time, especially if you linked your facebook, its gonna download and sync all of your contacts and their profile images. 200mb is very restraining if thats what you have...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
First of all, I am a totally newbie to smartphone, prior to 5pm on that day, I was still using the antiqued flip phone :). However, I am familiar with Android OS a bit since dealing with the B&N NC. I tend to rip the NC apart w/o worrying anything, worst case, restore it confidently; SGS2 is on the other hand, it is a must have device, and I admit that I'm somehow afraid that I will mess it up. That's why still keeping it stock for now. But I eye to use UnNamed ROM along with Entropy512 DD kernel, it is on my list.

Secondly, to answer akira, I have no idea how much I was polling for email, as I said, I left H+ on all the time, so I got every single gmail that sent to me.

Display settings? you meant brightness? or display the Phone Status?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
@penguin,

Yes, it's just like new lappy, tons of pre-installed crapware. I was thinking either I manually uninstall them or wait until out of warranty and put the UnNamed or any great custom ROM on it.

You know what, anytime I check myATT on the SGS2, it consumes data, so I found a cheating, sneaky way that checking it using wifi (not using ATT network) or using my NC :). The reason I am so focus on it 'cuz I only have 200MB plan, if I use much more than that I will switch plan later, but for now, 200MB plan and using wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
You do know you can return to 100% complete stock right? As long as you read and follow directions, there's a miniscule chance of hurting this device, it's very resilient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Thanks for your note, m8.

And honestly no.

Like I said, I just own a smartphone for 2 days, so admittedly I never set a foot (or should I say a finger :)) on this forum until now. I am still on the reading/learning curves. Many devices have their different capability, for instance the B&N NC is virtually unbrickable so we (NC users) do have a lot of fun whacking it. If hitting problem, XDA is here for help :).

SGS2 is a phone, if we're not confident and if we mess something up, we freak out or panic. hehehehe, at least that's on my mind :)

The reason I said "no" above because I read some posts and they said only 95% back to original, not 100%. Is it still true?

Anyway, big thank for your confirm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Alright, so I went online and checked out the data usage.

At around 4:57pm, Internet/Media Net from phone took up 11345KB in one shot.

Don't know what that was :(

Maybe activating process? Getting H+ to work? Initial setup? Whatever, that's what it was.

The other Internet/Media Net from phone @9:03am and 5:14pm, don't remember what I did? Maybe 1 gmail and 1 sms? Either way, 1 of them took roughly 2MB. Woww.

You should really get 2gb on your first month to see how much data you use and not risk paying overages, after that you can decide what to do with how you want to use your phone.

I'm not worry, m8, I'm more like an old fashion guy who not using phone internet much. I am pretty much working and/or wifi accessing all the time :)

Just another update.

A few days ago, phone was at 33% battery life around 11pm, left H+ on overnite with screen turned off, in the next morning @ 8am, checked, phone was still at 33%.

Last nite, phone was at 87% at 11pm, left wifi on (no H+) overnite with screen turned off, this morning @ 8am, it only has 81% left :(. Recheck at 9:30am, it's 79%.

I thought wifi consumes less power than 3G, left alone 4G/H+, hmmmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
H+ is only active when transferring data. It's basically using multiple connections of 3g to get faster overall connection, so it was in 3g all night. Also you should try with the battery fully charged and check to make sure your phone was not awake. I know that I drop 1 or 2% overnight with either wifi or cell data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Thanks, m8

Good to know.

At first, I always think 3G consume more power than wifi. Then reading posts, seems to be 8 out of 10 people claim wifi consume less 'cuz shorter Tx (like wifi at home) distance, final answer from them is "testing yourself" :) so I did and it got me a surprise that in my case, wifi seems to use more.

Learning every day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Well every person is different. I live in an area with low signal, so it usually takes a couple of tries to actually get the data, and I have multiple apps checking every 15-30 minutes (but phone still stays in deep sleep). The thing with android is that everyone is different and has different apps that affect battery life.

Last nite, 01/05, phone was at 87% at 11pm, left wifi on (no H+) overnite with screen turned off, this morning @ 8am, it only has 81% left . Recheck at 9:30am, it's 79%.

Beside 20' talk via bluetooth (after than turn off bluetooth) no other activity in the morning until noon.

Turn on wifi, keep it on until 6:30pm. Did download and install a few apps w/i 15' max, battery at 62%.

At 6:30pm, turn off wifi, turn on H+, turn on gps, turn on bluetooth.

Another 25' talk via bluetooth while driving along with Maps GPS on.

Arrive home, phone has 45% left.

Wowww :(:(

With very limited usage, the phone lasts only about a day :(

Woman, battery drained too fast, grrrrr.

With my normal usage, it probably last 4 hours.

I don't know it is what it is or I actually has a defect battery pack?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Post a screenshot (home+power button) of your battery graph (Settings->About->Battery Usage->Press graph on top) You might have something keeping your phone awake and using up your battery.

This is what mine looks like with wifi on, normal usage (no calls though, calls use quite a bit of battery)

Give me some time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Sorry that I have to do the old fashion way since every time, I "power+home" the Task Manager always pops.

Anyway, here they are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
That seems normal for the heavy amount of usage. tip, just tap home and power at the same time really quickly and it should work. The only way you can reduce your battery usage would be to downclock your cpu (to run at 1000mhz instead of 1200 mhz), undervolt a little bit, and change your cpu governor to conservative instead of on demand. However to do all of this, you would need to root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Really? Heavy amount of usage? I thought I didn't use much, I meant, like 1/5 of my normal use. Maybe I have to lower the expectation and redefine my "normal usage" :)

About root, yes, I will absolute do at some point. For now, I am still reading and try to understand the "what if".

Thanks a lot, penguin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Phone was at 82%, power off then turned back on, it's immediately 78%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Well I would personally call that heavy usage due to a high amount of screen on time and GPS use. And yes, the battery level dropping on restart is pretty much common on most phones (even dumb phones). Lots of battery is used upon startup and temporarily drops the battery voltage, so when the phone starts up, it reads it as lower than what it should be giving the low battery percentage, when really it should be around 80%. It gets even worse at lower battery life (like dropping from 40 to 30).
